What is coenzyme Q10
Coenzyme Q10 is a substance that can be stored and produced in the human body, also known as coenzyme Q or CoQ10. Its presence in cells is essential for maintaining good health. Coenzyme Q10 has a variety of important physiological effects and functions, involving energy production, anti-oxidation, cardiovascular health, neuroprotection, immune regulation and other aspects.
What is Q10 coenzyme good for
1. Energy production: Coenzyme Q10 plays a key role in the respiratory chain of cell mitochondria and participates in energy production in cells. By promoting redox reactions in cells, coenzyme Q10 can convert nutrients such as glucose and fatty acids into energy required by cells, and acts as a catalyst in the respiration process of cells. Therefore, coenzyme Q10 is widely considered to be necessary to maintain the normal functioning of the body.
2. Antioxidation: Coenzyme Q10 has a strong antioxidant effect and can resist the generation and damage of free radicals. Free radicals are highly active molecules produced by oxidation reactions, which can cause oxidative damage to cells and tissues and lead to aging and disease. Coenzyme Q10 can protect cells from oxidative damage by capturing and neutralizing free radicals, thereby slowing down the aging process of the human body and preventing the occurrence of many diseases.
3. Cardiovascular health: Coenzyme Q10 plays an important role in the cardiovascular system. First, Coenzyme Q10 can enhance the energy supply of myocardial cells, maintain the normal contraction and relaxation function of the heart, and improve symptoms such as myocardial ischemia and angina pectoris. Secondly, Coenzyme Q10 can protect vascular endothelial cells, promote vasodilation, improve cardiovascular function, and reduce blood pressure and the risk of heart attack. In addition, Coenzyme Q10 also has the effect of inhibiting platelet aggregation and thrombosis, preventing the occurrence of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
4. Neuroprotection: Coenzyme Q10 has an important protective effect on the nervous system. It can provide the energy required by cells, maintain the normal metabolic function of neurons, and promote the survival and functional recovery of neurons. In addition, Coenzyme Q10 can also reduce the degree of oxidative damage to neurons, inhibit the apoptosis of nerve cells (i.e. cell death), and prevent the occurrence of neurodegenerative diseases.
5. Immunomodulation: Coenzyme Q10 can regulate the function of the immune system and enhance the body's immunity. It can promote the proliferation and activity of immune cells and improve the body's ability to fight pathogenic microorganisms. In addition, Coenzyme Q10 can also regulate the cytokines secreted by immune cells, promote the balance and coordination of the body's immune response, and enhance anti-inflammatory effects.
Human Content
The total content of Coenzyme Q10 in the human body is only 500-1500mg and decreases with age. The content of Coenzyme Q10 in human organs reaches a peak at the age of 20 and then decreases rapidly. The decrease in Coenzyme Q10 concentration in the heart is particularly obvious. A 77-year-old man has 57% less Coenzyme Q10 in the myocardium than a 20-year-old.

What to look for when buying coenzyme Q10
First, look at the production process:
There are many different production processes for Coenzyme Q10, including five methods: biological extraction, animal and plant cell culture, semi-chemical synthesis, full chemical synthesis and microbial fermentation. Among them, the Coenzyme Q10 prepared by biological extraction, semi-chemical synthesis and full chemical synthesis all have certain defects, which may affect human health. Only the microbial fermentation method is the most advanced, and the Coenzyme 10 produced is very helpful to health. The regret of the microbial fermentation method is that the cost is high, which is 2-3 times that of other processes.
Second, look at the purification technology:
High-temperature purification is prone to lose the activity of the enzyme, and the quality of Coenzyme Q10 purified by low-temperature and ultra-low-temperature methods is good.
Third, look at the scientific research strength:
Modern society is a scientific and technological society, and the quality of the product is often determined by its scientific research team.
Fourth, look at the production line:
Coenzyme products are most easily absorbed by the human body in soft capsules, and hard capsules are not absorbed well. The production enterprise must pass the national GMP or EU GMP certification.
